Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Dolphin Liberty 400 reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie ohne Kabel und wartet nach dem Lauf an der Wasserlinie auf den Klicker. In gepflegten Becken mit Folie oder rauem Beton arbeitet er verlässlich und bequem. Der Haken: weniger Sog als Kabelgeräte, ein fest verbauter Akku mit bis zu 6 h Ladezeit und Durchdrehen an glatten Fliesen.
Pros
- Reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie ohne Schwimmkabel
- Bergung per Klicker bis zu zwei Tage nach Zyklusende
- Induktives Laden per Magnetstecker ohne offene Kontakte
- Eco-Modus verteilt eine Ladung auf 3 x 40 min pro Woche
- Systematische Bahnen per Gyroskop statt Zufallsfahrt
- Filterkorb von oben entnehmbar, Paneele bis 50 µm
Cons
- Raupen drehen auf glatten Fliesen und Mosaik an Wänden durch
- Saugt und schrubbt schwächer als kabelgebundene Dolphin-Modelle
- Akku fest verbaut, bis zu 6 h Ladezeit für einen Zyklus
- Bei viel Schmutz bleiben nach einem Durchgang Reste
- Wasserlinie und Ecken teils ungleichmäßig gereinigt
Der MOVA Rover X10 reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie sehr gründlich und bleibt dank AquaSonar-Boje auch unter Wasser per App steuerbar. Der Haken: schmale Stufen und Flachwasserzonen lässt er oft aus, in verwinkelten Becken fährt er unsystematisch, und mit 15,8 kg trocken wird jedes Herausheben zur Kraftübung. Er passt zu großen, einfach geformten Becken mit WLAN am Rand.
Pros
- Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie werden sehr gründlich gereinigt
- Verweilt an der Wasserlinie und schrubbt, statt nur anzustoßen
- App-Verbindung bleibt per AquaSonar-Boje auch unter Wasser bestehen
- 321 m² in 161 min mit nur 55 % Akkuverbrauch
- Skimmer-Modus fischt Laub und Insekten von der Oberfläche
- Großer 5-l-Filterkorb, dazu Feinfilter mit 3 µm
Cons
- Schmale Stufen und Flachwasserzonen bleiben oft ungereinigt
- 15,8 kg trocken, vollgesogen beim Herausheben eine echte Last
- Filterkorb öffnet nicht nach unten, Ausspülen ist mühsam
- In verwinkelten oder großen Becken teils lückenhafte Bahnen an Wänden
- Boje muss separat geladen werden, Verbindung bricht teils ab
